So essentially, I just no longer want to deal with people. My work job has always been people dealing and sales, and I really just don't. Want. To. Do. It. So I asked my friend to just manage the online shop, post the items on, take and ship orders. Just be the people person, so I could focus on the creating part. Essentially, the more I could create the more we could make, if it had panned out properly. as it is I have had a painting for sale/auction for 2 years with not a single bid on it. The only pins sold are the ones who have tried to hit me up and I always redirect them to my husband.
I don't use facebook messenger so that negates sales on facebook from me. The etsy itself isn't to hard but the fact still stands I don't want to.
So my husband is getting everything back under our control, but its taken him over a year because he's so lazy about it and doesn't think its that big a deal to have a shop front or not.
As for the reselling, the only reason I can think it would be that high is someone sold it from the pin board that got stolen (I had a board of $300 worth of pins stolen at the gotj 2016) or bought it off me at the gotj 2016 while I was walking around hand selling them. (I got so blistered in the ohio sun that year it was terrible) OR they bought it off us for 15+shipping and just decided to flip it and make their moneys worth by double the price and "including shipping". -flips table-
But yeah, they are enamel pins
Facebook shop
The etsy would/should be under the same name but may be closed. I haven't even bothered checking. XD
Tell me what their like when your done with it =O
